- Please note that tubing is measured in Outside Diameter (OD).
- Force is the dynamic power that is exported longitudinally through a tube, towards the ends.
- To arrive at the number of pounds of force exerted, multiply the area of the Inside Diameter (ID) times the working pressure used.
- Area of a circle: Π x r2 (Pi [3.14156] times the radius of the circle squared).
- Force = Area x Pressure
- The shaded pressure areas are beyond the capacity of high pressure clamps at room temperature (70°F)
